Childcare voucher scheme
Is the childcare voucher scheme carrying on in 2012-13. And any idea if the £243 per month amount is increasing ?
Thanks

Not just vouchers
The same applies to childcare paid directly by the employer to the childcare provider.
The £243
is reduced to £121 for higher rate taxpayers (broadly) and £95 for additional rate taxpayers (broadly) who join a relevant scheme after 5 April 2011.
Where I say broadly, it is up to the employer to estimate whether the employee will pay at those rates by reference to the pay and benefits from the employment.
Child tax credits
Thanks very much.
Whilst we are at it, something else I am struggling to find, is what is the new upper limit in 2012-13 for receiving any child/working tax credits (say for a couple working 35 hours pw) ?



Vouchers
Yes and no, in that order - unless the Chancellor announces anything in the Budget, that is.
